Trump's Greenland Ambitions Spark Ethical Concerns Amid Ex-Aides' Mining Ventures

• Former Trump aides George Sorial and Keith Schiller are linked to GreenMet, a company with interests in rare earth mining in Greenland.
• GreenMet partnered with Tanbreez Mining Greenland A/S, which holds a license for a "shovel-ready rare earth project" on the island.
• Ethical questions arise as Trump pushes for US acquisition of Greenland while his former associates pursue business gains there.
• Ned Mamula, GreenMet's former chief geologist, was appointed director of the US Geological Survey, raising conflict of interest concerns.
• The US government, through the Export-Import Bank, is backing the Greenland mining project with a $120 million package.

Why It Matters: Trump's push for Greenland acquisition is intertwined with his former aides' mining interests, raising ethical red flags.
